Ride FearLess Retreat - 
Lets get your confidence back with your horse! 
"Here I was a professional trainer, who used to be fearless, and I was scared to get on my horse. You can imagine the frustration and shame I felt for that. Dealing with my fear was a very hard task, but I truly believe I needed to feel that depth of fear so that I could better teach my students. And that is how the Ride FearLess Program was created." - Julia Lyons
 
 




Why Should You Sign Up? 
Small group teachings with likeminded riders! 

You will join us for 6 days of great instruction both on the ground and undersaddle. We will be there each step of the way to help guide you, cheer for you, and keep you going. If you are looking for a coach that will yell at you to keep moving and pushing "Buck Up and Get Over it"  you are in the wrong place. But if you are looking for one who is there to allow you to move at your own pace, who will teach you training methods as well as tangible ways to combat the mental side of fear, teach you about how your thoughts impact you and your horse, and hold you accountable, then this is the retreat is for you. 
We take about 8 riders for this retreat


Its More than Just Horsemanship

There are 2 main pieces to my Ride FearLess Program. One is a given, and that is Horsemanship. Fear is rooted in the idea of "what if my horses loses control." So one of the best ways we can possibly work through that and overcome that is learn as much as we can about communicating effectively with our horses so that they are relaxed, and willlingly guided by us. 
However, I found with my own journey that is not enough. When fear has a full grasp on us, we have to dig deeper. We have to learn to understand what it is that our brain and body is telling us in the moment. Not only is fear a mental response, but it has a complete physical response, and you can 100% learn these tells about your body, and learn techniques to overcome them! 


Enjoy the Equine Get-Away! 

While you are here, you are going to be able to stay in a very cozy and comfortable cabin overlooking a stocked pond, have your horses on site, hang out with friends and ENJOY your time. We will have a lovely dinner together on our large cabin porch, get to know one another, exchange stories, and just plain enjoy yourselves. 
Your cabin and your horses stall are INCLUDED in your stay. 
So come on down to NC, enjoy the scenery, the community, and the education. 
Its the perfect place to recharge yourself, and your horsemanship.

Michael and I together make an incredible team to share a life changing experience for both you and your horse. You will join us for 6 days of great instruction both on the ground and undersaddle.

This is horsemanship based retreat. Fear comes from the thought of being out of control. So one of the best ways to tackle this, is to create all the tools in your tool belt to have the best control of your horse you can have. We will work on the exercises you need both on the ground and undersaddle to get you and your horse communicating fluently, as well as talk about the thought processes and ideas that we can use to help us master our own way of thinking and handling ourselves when Fear creeps in.
